food IS a theme park
Today is the official reopening of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and we’re having a blast checking everything out!
We’re glad to be here!
The new Moana rooms are awesome, Cast Members are handing out free POG Juice, and as a fun surprise, Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto has reopened! We’re heading inside now to check it out, and we’re bringing you along.
We’ve been counting down the days until Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort officially reopens.
We’re glad to be here!
In the meantime, we’ve been checking out all the other reopenings at the resort, including Oasis Bar and Grill, ‘Ohana (for breakfast AND dinner), and Kona Island (did someone say candied bacon?). But we’ve been impatiently waiting for a chance to check out the new Moana-themed rooms at the hotel.
It is a VERY exciting day at Disney World!
Can you guess where we’re going?
Since Disney World’s reopening last year, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Disney Vacation Club rooms have been open. But as of today, the resort is now fully open including Moana rooms! So, of course, we stopped by to check it out!
Guess what today is?
It’s a very special day!
It’s the official reopening day of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. And although the Polynesian was previously only open to Disney Vacation Club members, it’s now open to EVERYONE. And we’re here checking everything out, including a special new treat!
Disney World fans are some of the most loyal and dedicated fans in the world.
Fans were eager to share their opinion on the new castle makeover.
And there are times when Disney World fans are so overwhelmed by news, events, and announcements that it — sometimes literally — breaks the Internet.
Things at Disney World are getting back to normal.
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto
Entertainment is back. Fireworks have returned. We’ve got reopening dates for hotels. And we’ve seen a lot of restaurants reopen this summer, with more reopenings on the way. Speaking of which…we’ve got another bit of reopening news to share with you, and we think this one will get you as excited as we are!
Disney World is so busy right now with refurbishments to get ready for the big 50th anniversary celebration that begins on October 1st!
Main Street Confectionery
EPCOT is getting a MAJOR transformation, Cinderella Castle got a makeover, and Fantasyland got a few new golden accents.
We can’t even fathom everything that’s happened since last year — 2020 was a crazy year to say the least! Disney World closed and reopened. And we watched as health and safety guidelines went from being prominent at the parks to being phased out.
One of our FAVORITE resort lobbies…Jambo House at Animal Kingdom Lodge!
What a year, right? And there are STILL things at Disney World that haven’t reopened yet, including restaurants AND hotels. But that’s changing, too. Many of our favorite snack spots have reopened, along with many of our favorite restaurants, and we now have official reopening dates for the rest of Disney World’s hotels!
Things are slowly beginning to get back to “normal” at Disney World.
JAMMIN’ Chefs!
We’ve seen the end of many of the resort’s health and safety guidelines, the return of summer crowds, the return of entertainment, the return of fireworks, and the return of ride pre-shows. We’ve also seen the company announce the return of in-person runDisney events AND the return of the Disney College Program.
There are a TON of reopenings happening right now in Disney World, with more resorts and restaurants starting to welcome back guests!
‘Ohana at the Polynesian Resort
Today, we’ve got yet another reopening to report and it’s a big one. The EPCOT Monorail line is back!
